...completely saves the film at some of its worst moments. She throws herself into a stereotype—a dark author with writer’s block, who duses phrases like “fantastically depressing”—and plays her character as a modern, witty Virginia Woolf. It’s fascinating, too, to watch her face off against Queen Latifah, who plays her assistant in some gratuitous yet excellent scenes. Most importantly, though, Thompson provides an emotional core and prevents the film from devolving into silly irrelevance.Bottom Line: “Stranger Than Fiction?...
...continues until at least midnight. Fox News Channel plays constantly aboard Vice President Dick Cheney's plane, and it was Fox coverage that was flickering on a corner television in the White House residence when reporters were taken upstairs on election night in 2004.

But it was only the beginning of a what could be a very big evening for the Democrats. In Virginia, Democrat Jim Webb was running nearly even with incumbent GOP Senator George Allen, whose accident-prone candidacy has tarnished what was once considered one of his party's brightest stars. And New Jersey's Bob Menendez, considered the Democrats' most vulnerable incumbent, skated to victory past Republican Tom Kean...
